  • Looking For Love (From Our Readers — Year-End Fundraiser!)

    Hey, everyone …

    After a week of working from a small laptop screen while slowly beginning my family’s move to our new residence, I got my full computer rig set up here yesterday … and what better way to test things out and catch any missed tasks or damaged equipment than with a short (20-item) weekend special edition?

    Our year-end fundraiser is stuck at $1,270.84.

    Our goal is $5,501.

    Once we’ve raised $2,750.50, supporter GL has generously pledged to “match funds” for the other half.

    Our “mini-goal” for Monday is to be at $2,000. We’re $729.16 short.

    Ours is a modest goal, not a huge ask. Please think about how much value you get out of the Internet’s longest-running daily news and commentary update for libertarians, then return some of that value as financial support TODAY at:

    “Georgia congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has announced she will resign from office in January, an unexpected turn for the high-profile Republican days after a public feud with President Donald Trump. Greene, who became one of Trump’s Maga superstars in US politics, posted a video statement on social media announcing she would leave Congress on 5 January 2026. … While she announced her departure from the House of Representatives, reports in US media have indicated Greene has shown an interest in running for state office — either as Georgia governor or for a Senate seat. … their relationship soured after Greene became one of a handful of Republicans to back a petition for the release of all files held by the US government related to [Jeffrey] Epstein.” (11/21/25)

  • One cat death is a tragedy. 43,000 human deaths is a statistic

    “For those who missed the internationally publicized brouhaha, a tabby named Kit Kat had lived in the city’s Mission, where he sauntered into bodegas and bars. Dubbed the Mayor of 16th Street, Kit Kat was by all accounts a charming character. Then on October 27, the unthinkable happened: a Waymo self-driving taxi ran him over. Kit Kat’s fans have erected memorials and took to social media to mourn. There’s nothing wrong with mourning the death of a neighborhood cat. … my problem isn’t with the upset, but with the proposed solutions. As The New York Times reported, ‘Jackie Fielder, a progressive San Francisco supervisor who represents the Mission District, has been among the most vocal critics. She introduced a city resolution after Kit Kat’s death that calls for the state Legislature to let voters decide if driverless cars can operate where they live.'” (11/21/25)
